Dear Advanced Server and PATHWORKS customers,

The enclosed kits contain two products:

o  Compaq PATHWORKS V6.0D for OpenVMS (Advanced Server)

   This OpenVMS layered application provides networking func-
   tionally equivalent to that of the Windows NT Server - with
   additional features.

   PATHWORKS V6.0D for OpenVMS (Advanced Server) supports 
   OpenVMS Alpha Versions 6.2, 7.2-1, and 7.3 and OpenVMS VAX 
   Versions 6.2, 7.2, and 7.3. Licenses are purchased separately.

o  Compaq Advanced Server V7.3 for OpenVMS

   This OpenVMS layered application provides networking func-
   tionally equivalent to that of the Windows NT Server - with
   capabilities that support OpenVMS Version 7.3. The product
   includes several other new features that enhance integration
   with Microsoft and OpenVMS environments.

   Advanced Server V7.3 for OpenVMS supports only OpenVMS Alpha
   Versions 7.2-1 and 7.3. You can upgrade from Advanced Server
   V7.2A for OpenVMS to Advanced Server V7.3 for OpenVMS before
   you upgrade your operating system to OpenVMS Version 7.3. Or,
   you can stay on OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.2-1. Upgrading to 
   Advanced Server V7.3 will give you the most recent 
   maintenance updates. Licenses are purchased separately.
